Windows 7: No Speakers

I've only recently finished building my rig but cant seem to get my sound to work correctly.
If i go into the Realtek settings, no speakers are detected. The only way to get them to show is to tick "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection" but then the side, sub ... ect jacks do not work.
I've installed the Realtek drivers from my driver disk, Gigabyte website and Windows but still no luck.

I'm hoping the problem is something simple and would appreciate any help.

The other thing this may be of course is a basic hardware failure of the audio circuitry on the board, this is not as uncommon as we would like and as this is a totally new build, with no working history, it is something to consider as a last resort
